The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) conducts load cell calibrations, ensuring that our clients’ load cells remain within an acceptable range of accuracy. Every type of measuring instrument can experience drifts in accuracy, but our highly capable calibration labs help to minimize the inconsistencies in instruments.
What is a Load Cell, and What are Load Cell Calibrations?
A load cell is an electronic device that converts various types of force, such as compression, pressure, and tension into measurable electronic signals. Load cells are commonly used in industrial equipment such as gauges and scales, so it’s essential that they’re well maintained to ensure their accuracy. Load cell calibrations are corrections applied to a load cell to improve the device’s accuracy, minimizing its margin of error.
About Our Calibration Lab
Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration labs have the cutting-edge technology needed to conduct precise calibrations for numerous types of instruments and devices, including load cells. We properly maintain our calibration equipment to ensure that we offer precise calibrations that our clients can trust. We offer on-site and in-lab calibrations that allow us to customize our approach according to our clients’ demands and timeline. All our calibrations are NIST traceable, guaranteeing that our services uphold strict standards regarding precision and quality.
Why is It Important to Calibrate Load Cells?
Load cell calibrations help to ensure that the load cell provides consistent and reliable results. Failure to properly calibrate load cells could result in serious consequences, including the following:
- Non-compliance issues
- Flawed measurements and data
- Product failures or recalls
- Safety hazards
The frequency of load cell calibrations will depend on your specific needs, but industry experts agree that load cells should receive routine calibrations to verify their performance.
